ARC Raiders Steam Achievements: Part Two
Contents
This is the middle-rarity slice of ARC Raiders achievements — the ones unlocked by between 50.9% and 36.9% of game owners. Roughly every second player already has the top entries on this list, and the bottom ones belong to a bit more than one in three.
Below you’ll find the names exactly as they appear in the game, the developer’s official conditions, and the percentage of players from Steam’s statistics page. We’re not adding anything beyond that: where Steam doesn’t explain how to actually meet a condition, we say so plainly.
Where to check your own progress in Steam
The process is straightforward:
- Open your Steam library and go to the ARC Raiders page.
- Find the achievements block on the game’s card — it shows how many of the 50 you’ve already unlocked.
- Click it to see the full list with “unlocked” / “locked” markers for your own account.
- To compare yourself with everyone else, open the game’s global achievement statistics page — that’s where Valve shows what share of all owners has unlocked each achievement.
The difference between these two screens matters. The first is about you. The second is about all game owners combined, and it’s where every percentage in this article comes from.
How to read the percentage
The percentage isn’t a difficulty rating and it isn’t “how much time it takes.” It’s simply the share of game owners who have ever unlocked that achievement at some point. Several things feed into that number at once: how hard the condition actually is, how naturally it tends to happen on its own, and how many people even reached the relevant stage of the game.
That’s why this group mixes achievements of quite different character: some you’ll complete just by playing a lot, others need deliberate intent.
| Achievement | Official condition | Players |
|---|---|---|
| Unyielding | Incapacitate 10 raiders | 50.9% |
| Bringing Down the Big Guns | Destroy a Rocketeer | 48.3% |
| No Going Back | description not shown | 47.5% |
| Top of the World | description not shown | 44.0% |
| Back from the Brink | Revive a squadmate ten times | 41.5% |
| Long Shot | Hit a target from over 250 metres away | 39.9% |
| Into the Breach | Destroy a Bastion | 39.1% |
| Same Song, Same Verse | Trigger two car alarms in a single round | 38.7% |
| In the Nick of Time | Safely return to Speranza with less than 5 seconds left on the round clock | 38.3% |
| Horseshoes and Hand Grenades | Knock down a raider you encounter using a grenade | 37.8% |
| Snitches get Stitches | Destroy a Snitch using a Stitcher | 37.2% |
| Escape Artist | Safely return to Speranza 100 times | 36.9% |
Now the same list, grouped by theme.
Fighting ARC machines
Three entries in this group require destroying a specific machine enemy.
Bringing Down the Big Guns (48.3%) — destroy a Rocketeer. The most common “machine” achievement on this list.
Into the Breach (39.1%) — destroy a Bastion. The percentage is noticeably lower, and that’s the one thing we can say with confidence: fewer players get to this particular target.
Snitches get Stitches (37.2%) — destroy a Snitch using a Stitcher. The condition here is two-part: it’s not just about the target but also about the tool. Conditions phrased as “do X specifically using Y” tend to sit lower than their neighbours for exactly that reason.
What Steam doesn’t say: where these machines show up, how often, or what to do if you don’t have the right gear. An achievement’s description is a condition, not a walkthrough. We’ve covered enemies in general in a separate piece on ARC machine types.
Clashes with other raiders
Unyielding (50.9%) — incapacitate 10 raiders. The most common achievement in this slice of the list: half of all game owners have it.
Horseshoes and Hand Grenades (37.8%) — knock down a raider you encounter using a grenade. The condition is tied to a specific weapon, so it happens by accident less often.
Long Shot (39.9%) — hit a target from over 250 metres away. The official description just says “target,” without specifying who or what it has to be. We’re not going to fill that gap in on the developer’s behalf.
Team play
Back from the Brink (41.5%) — revive a squadmate ten times. The only purely co-op achievement in this group: it requires having a squadmate in the first place. For more on playing together, see our piece on co-op and squads.
Returning to Speranza
Escape Artist (36.9%) — safely return to Speranza 100 times. This is the lowest percentage in the group, and the reason is more about accumulation over time than the difficulty of any single run.
In the Nick of Time (38.3%) — safely return to Speranza with less than 5 seconds left on the round clock. This condition is about timing, not volume.
Side antics
Same Song, Same Verse (38.7%) — trigger two car alarms in a single round. This isn’t something the game requires for progress: it’s a pure “easter egg” achievement that has to be done on purpose.
Two achievements without a description
No Going Back (47.5%) and Top of the World (44.0%) — no description shown on Steam’s statistics page. We only know the name and the percentage.
What to do with that: nothing, other than not trusting other people’s explanations without a source. We’re not repeating what fan wikis or videos claim, because there’s no way to verify them — the official condition text simply isn’t publicly available on the statistics page.
What we’re not claiming
- That these percentages are fixed. This is a live figure that changes along with the player count and with patches.
- That a low percentage means “hard.” It only means “fewer people have done it.”
- That there’s a “correct order” for chasing these. Rockstar has nothing to do with this — this is a game by Embark Studios, and the studio posts news on its official site, arcraiders.com; it hasn’t published any recommended order for achievements.
- That we know the conditions for “No Going Back” and “Top of the World.” We don’t.
- Any coordinates, mission names, completion times, or “optimal builds” — none of that is in the official descriptions, and we’re not going to make it up.
Where to go next
This article covers the middle of the list. The two extremes are covered separately: the rarest achievements and the most common achievements. The start of this same list is in part one.
In short
This part of the list covers achievements held by between 50.9% and 36.9% of players: fights against the Rocketeer, Bastion, and Snitch, clashes with other raiders, reviving squadmates, returning to Speranza, and one car-alarm prank. Steam only gives you the wording of the conditions — and for “No Going Back” and “Top of the World,” it doesn’t even give you that.
